Vertx Launches Guardian 2.0 Line of EDC Ready Shirts

Friday, April 10th, 2020

Refreshed Line Reflects Ever-Changing Low-Profile Landscape

Cincinnati, Ohio – Vertx®, a leading manufacturer of low-profile tactical apparel and accessories, is excited to announce the launch of its Guardian 2.0 line of EDC shirts. First launched in 2018, the Guardian 2.0 is revamped and refreshed for 2020 with new fabric, colors and updated features. Both short sleeve and long sleeve styles are now available online at vertx.com and in-store. Customers can find their nearest dealer using the Vertx® store locator at vertx.com/store-locator.

“The most important thing we can do for our customers is continue to update and improve our lines.” said Denny Bogard, GM/VP of Vertx®. “Continually changing up colorways and fabrics makes it a lot easier for guys to blend in when they go out into the field. Better yet, the Guardian 2.0 isn’t just a great functional piece, it’s comfortable enough to wear casually as well.”

The Guardian 2.0 is styled to emulate a casual button-down but includes EDC-compatible features that make it perfect for any mission. Constructed with a built-in WeaponGuard™ underlayer that’s designed to be tucked in and features 37.5® technology, the Guardian protects the skin from gear worn at the waistline while actively working to keep the wearer cool, dry and odor-free. Updated from the 1.0 styles, the communications pass-throughs were moved from the front and back of the WeaponGuard™ underlayer to the left and right side seam to more easily hide wires and cables. Refreshed fabrication in a wrinkle-resistant Polyester/Cotton/Spandex blend with all-new solids and plaids help the Guardian 2.0 blend into the crowd.

Flying Cross Offers Largest In-Stock Inventory of Uniform Garments for Public Safety

Wednesday, April 8th, 2020

COVID-19 outbreak causes agencies across the nation to reconsider uniform needs Cincinnati, Ohio – Flying Cross, a leader in the design and manufacturer of public safety apparel and gear, announced today an overwhelming support from the law enforcement community to help identify uniform solutions that are readily available to service and ship during this recent Coronavirus outbreak. Many public safety uniform needs have changed as officers have had to shift roles to fill department requirements, as well as change personal hygiene and uniform care habits to protect themselves in the field.

“This is a critical time for all of our frontline first responders working in our communities during this Coronavirus outbreak,” said Tom Rose, GM of Public Safety, Fechheimer Brothers Company. “Their care and safety is, and has always been, our number one concern, in conjunction with their local dealers servicing their uniform needs. We are fortunate to have the industry’s largest in-stock inventory to be able to step up in a big way to help identify the products our customers need – and need right now.”

Flying Cross carries more than $38 million of product inventory and uniform solutions for law enforcement, fire and EMS, mass transportation, the U.S. postal, and many other adjacent industries. Because they stock many uniform programs both wide and deep, many agencies have reached out directly and through their distributors for help with current and immediate uniform needs.

“Many of the first responder roles are considered “essential” amidst state issued stay-at-home orders,” said Rose. “Roles that previously did not operate in the field on a daily basis now require daily duty uniforms to help fill gaps for the department. All of these roles have a greater risk of exposure on a day-to-day basis.”

Cleaning methods and frequency have also added to the need for uniform solutions. Many departments are choosing to purchase uniforms that provide the clean, crisp appearance expected by the community, but with easier maintenance and long term durability such as Cross FX and Cross FX Elite. Despite the uniform program, the vast exposure of COVID-19 to officers in the field has generated new habits. Possible exposures have led to officers changing their uniform garments more frequently throughout the day. Uniform garments that once were acceptable to clean once a week now may need to be cleaned daily to minimize the spread of any possible contamination on clothes. When it comes to possibly contaminated clothes, the CDC has recommended using gloves to handle the garments and washing them right away. Garments should be cleaned based on the uniform fabric.

With travel limited in many states, and many organizations choosing not to receive visitors, Flying Cross has converted its sales team and extended customer service to help field customer questions and inquiries.

To inquire about uniform needs for your agency or department call 1-800-543-1939, or visit flyingcross.com/ready-to-serve.

Tuesday, April 7th, 2020

Expedition Grade, Made in USA, Utility, Cargo Pant

Prometheus Design Werx’s best selling Odyssey Cargo Pant returns this Spring 2020 with their tried and true, field ready NYCO ripstop fabric newly updated with stretch for improved mobility and additional comfort. These utility field pants feature purpose driven design at its core with carefully considered pockets for today’s EDC, and functional features to excel during extended use in the field. The PDW Odyssey Cargo Pant uses industrial grade sewing construction, double reinforced seat, double knees with pad inserts and extra bar-tacks throughout. A field favorite with overlanders, field professionals, and explorers worldwide. Expertly built in the USA.

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“The classic cargo style pant is a long running, legacy design area for our Founder and Chief Designer. It is a style that started over 70 years ago and born from necessity to address the field needs of Allied airborne troopers. The Odyssey Cargo Pant for PDW is a pure purpose driven design for those who spent a lot of their time in the field. They are intended to perform in a wide variety of environments and conditions, carry extra personal kit, and be as capable as their user. We’ve been working on updating our tried and true NYCO ripstop the last couple of years and were able to come up with just the right percentage of stretch fibers to add to our NYCO blend and enhance this very versatile fabric. This is the best ripstop fabric we could custom mill to use in our pants. Like all of our goods, we constantly take a hard look each season at areas of improvement and arrive at an outcome that is the best it can be per iteration. Details make the design. The Odyssey Pant is still stitched right here in the USA using a skilled labor force and industrial work wear grade construction for an unparalleled quality of make.”

The Odyssey Cargo Pant NYCO+ is available in Transitional Field Green, Universal Field Gray, and All Terrain Brown.

The Odyssey Cargo Pant NYCO+ will be available for purchase on Wednesday, April 8th, 2020 at 12:00pm PT via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.
